Much is at stake in evangelical Christian theology when considering "the covenants"--Old Testament and New Testament. Theologically, how do we align the concerns of a popular conservative Christian culture that may rightly worry about the place of the Ten Commandments in the public square with a message that often seems to stress that those same commandments have all been nailed to the cross? Is it all really so simple as "Old Testament = law" versus "New Testament = grace"? Between whom are these two covenants made? How are the two covenants the same? And ultimately, are they really different? These are not new questions in reformed theology and among evangelicals. But their answers are best found, not in the traditions of theological interpretation, but in a careful Scriptural analysis of salvation history itself. Thus, in this important new contribution to covenant theology, Hans LaRondelle chronologically traces through salvation history the footsteps of the Creator Redeemer in progressively revealing His covenant promises and His judgments. From a "redemption-historical" perspective, based on careful exegesis, the author outlines the unity and continuity of God's covenants with His chosen people.

ÒOne of the most able Old Testament scholars of the twentieth century, Meredith Kline has done pathbreaking research and has opened new doors of understanding to the Scriptures. If you want to interpret the Bible accurately, you cannot afford to ignore the writings of Meredith Kline. ÒThis volume is an appropriate tribute to the distinguished career and scholarly contributions of Meredith Kline.Ó Luder Whitlock, former President Reformed Theological Seminary

God called Jesus to be His Christ. To be the Christ of God is to be His representative in all things. To be the Christ is to be God's agent, ambassador, and surrogate. The Christ of God is God for God appointed him as such. To be the Christ of God is to have God's power and the authority to act in the place of God. Within the pages of this book, this truth is explained and expounded upon. Within the pages of this book, the author explains the position, power, and prestige of the Christ. The author explains how the three pillars of eternity-the Creation, the Fall, and the Atonement-all testify of Christ. They point to Christ and his magnificent works. The author explains how Jesus is the foundation of eternity as he is the Creator, the Redeemer, and the Savior of the world. God choose Jehovah to be His Anointed one: His Christ. Jehovah, who in mortality was known as Jesus of Nazareth, had three grand missions to fulfill as the Christ. God had consecrated Jehovah to be the Creator of all things, the Redeemer all mankind from the Fall of Adam, and the Savior of all those who would believe on his name. Jesus fulfilled his role as "The Christ of God." (Luke 9:20) Within the sections of the book explaining Jesus's roles as Christ the Creator, Christ the Redeemer, and Christ the Savior, the author provides narratives of Christ's life. Beginning before "the beginning", the author provides a look at the deeds brought about because of Christ's love for the Father and for all mankind. Jesus is the Christ of God. Eternity rests upon his beautiful shoulders.
